EVE Alpha, Raspberry Pi, RFM12B & JeeNode @ 868Mhz

The first project I backed on Kickstarter was delivered some time back but I’ve only recently gotten around to trying to do something with it.

I have a bunch of JeeNodes from JeeLabs and wanted to use them as a starting point so read a few articles about getting the RFM12B on the EVE talking to the Raspberry Pi. They suggest bridging CE1 to SS RFM12 and bridging G21/G27 to the third pin of the chip which appears to be FSK/DATA/nFFS (according to the data sheets I’ve seen)- oh and don’t forget to add an antenna!

Have you had any success since your last post? I’ve managed to get to displaying the RSSI field, but cannot manage to communicate between a Jeenode (well, in my case a RFM12B connected to an Arduino running the Jeenode firmware) and the RPi+Eve Alpha
